It turned out that the secret guard arranged by General Shen sent out the secret letter before Yue Zeyuan captured him.

The letter conveyed Shen Yixiao's message: Shen Yixiao asked his father to tell Chu Hanfeng the truth about him and Yun Jing in Yue Kingdom, especially the fact that Yun Jing's identity had been stolen by a maid and she had been bullied as a palace maid, so that Chu Hanfeng could step in and save her.

Initially, when General Shen received the letter, he was naturally unwilling to do as Shen Yixiao wished.

Once he tells Chu Hanfeng about those things, it means he also tells Chu Hanfeng about Shen Yixiao's attempt to elope with Yun Jing. If His Majesty is furious, the entire General's Mansion may be implicated.

But when General Shen tried to contact the secret guards he had arranged again, he found that he could no longer reach them.

General Shen immediately guessed that the secret guard must have been discovered by the Yue Kingdom.

Now that the secret guards have been discovered, Shen Yixiao and Yun Jing are inevitably in danger as well.

One of them was General Shen's eldest son, and the other was the orphaned daughter of Prince Yun. General Shen had once regarded her as his own daughter, so it was impossible for him to stand by and watch them die.

After weighing the pros and cons, General Shen reported the true situation of Yun Jing and Shen Yixiao in Yue to Chu Hanfeng, requesting him to intercede with Yue on their behalf.

After hearing about this, Chu Hanfeng did not fly into a rage as General Shen had imagined.

Of course, Chu Hanfeng wasn't completely indifferent to Shen Yixiao's feelings for Yun Jing and the things he had done; however, his attention was more focused on Yun Jing.

It turns out that Yun Jing's identity was stolen by her maid, and the Ning Consort favored by Yue Zeyuan was not her.

Yun Jing has no relation to Yue Zeyuan and has been trying to leave the Yue Kingdom.

It turns out that Yun Jing had not reciprocated the feelings of another man; her body and soul still belonged to him.

Chu Hanfeng had previously considered taking Yun Jing back, but he hesitated due to other concerns.

Upon receiving this news, he was overjoyed, believing he had a chance to win Yun Jing back. Naturally, he no longer hesitated and immediately sent a letter of state to demand her return.

What Chu Hanfeng didn't know was that just two days before his official letter arrived, Yun Jing had caused a scene at the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet in Yue Kingdom.

When Yue Zeyuan saw the letter, his first reaction was that it was ridiculous. How dare Chu Hanfeng threaten him? What power did the Chu Kingdom have to threaten him?

The second reaction was that Chu Hanfeng's actions indirectly proved that what Qi Ning said that day was true, and not something she made up to survive.

It seems that Chu Hanfeng really has feelings for Yun Jing, and Yun Jing is indeed Chu Hanfeng's weakness.

Otherwise, Chu Hanfeng would not have made such an irrational move for Yun Jing.

After Eunuch Xu finished reading the contents of the imperial letter, the civil and military officials below were greatly shocked.

What shocked them was not that Chu Hanfeng asked Yue Zeyuan for the person, but rather the fact that the official letter mentioned that Yue Zeyuan had not treated the princess well and had treated her like a slave.

Wouldn't this confirm what the palace maid said at the palace banquet that day?

Various speculations immediately arose in the minds of those ministers.

Some whispered among themselves, while others mustered their courage and tentatively asked Yue Zeyuan, "Your Majesty, what exactly is the situation regarding this princess's marriage alliance? What about Consort Ning...?"

Yue Zeyuan had planned to announce Qi Ning's explanation today, so Chu Hanfeng's letter came at just the right time.
